There is a rather disturbing disconnect between these statistics on paper and everyday reality of the average Nigerian.

Because the UK standard has become your new standard.

Indian homes, Japanese homes etc, including African homes are not western homes.

Especially those Indians and Japanese. No matter where they go, they retain their culture and traditions. But Africans?..

I fully support and endorse it being made illegal in Nigeria.

Although still accessible through VPN but of course, it reduces the proliferation. After all, how many people have access to and can use VPN.

By the way, Armenia is predominantly Christian.

Foreign Affairs › Re: We Are Witnessing The Final Days And Weeks Of Iranian Regime - German Chancellor by CrownedPhoenix:
I believe this man was ill advised especially with the war against US and Israel and pushed to his end.

I used to think this man used terrorists. But I have come to realize terrorists used him. They probably saw him a weak person, hyped him, brainwashed him into extremism and got him to fund them.

They simply recruited and used him to fund their agendas across the world.

Terrorists gave him liver, now he is nothing without them since Israel has decimated them all.

Great news!

However, the Nigerian Police cannot track people using mobile devices.



They're just speaking grammar!
.
How do you mean? Because I have always believed the police has the technology to track devices.

Are you saying they are have the technology & know-how to track mobile devices, even if it's liaising with telecoms companies?

Namaster:
First of all, I DON'T trust married women.

That man looks BRITTLE.
All you need to do to INCAPACITATE him is blow a little BREEZE in his direction.

Secondly, if he truly RAPED someone.
He should be in JAIL.

NOT banished.
Leave the kids up there talking nun sense.

I don't trust women with accusations.

The old man may have caught her at something wrong and discrediting his person with false accusation might be her next step.

Large cache of ammunitions inside a drainage channel in a residential community?

As in, 1270 high calibre weapons and warheads inside a gutter in a residential area? undecided

Even if you do not like Maduro, first condemn the actions of the US.

When wrongs are committed, good men speak out against it.

It is an honourable thing to do to speak up against evil, regardless who the victim is, friend or foe.

In the end, you said nothing.

Politics › Re: I Was Paid ₦100,000 To Bomb Worshippers – Suspected Maiduguri Suicide Bomber by CrownedPhoenix: 6:22pm On Dec 31, 2025
joebeckz:
If anyone is wondering why other Muslims did not notice the freshly dug spot, it is because mosques usually have mats or rugs covering the floor. So it is very possible that no one noticed it. I do not think this story was made up to discredit the USA statement about the killing of Christians.

Bombings of mosques have been happening for a long time, and Muslims have also been killed many times. This is not new. I attended the University of Maiduguri, and I can say from experience that suicide bombings and other attacks have always been happening there. Are Christians being killed? Yes. But Muslims are also being killed.

The sad truth is that many of these killings are done by Muslims, and some of them have sympathizers within the Muslim community. Because of this, Christians in the North and other parts of Nigeria feel unsafe. Some Muslim clerics also make things worse, because some of the radical ones openly call for the death of Christians. The Deborah case is another issue that was not handled well by the Muslim community, and it confirmed the fears Christians already have.

Muslims need to stand up against these bad people and stop protecting or excusing them. That is the only way they can earn the trust of Christians living among them.

During the peak of the Maiduguri crisis, my church was burnt. St. Rita’s Catholic Church in Bulunkutu was attacked, and my parish priest was burnt alive. He had a gun, but he did not shoot at anyone. He only shot into the air to scare them away, but they jumped over the fence and entered the church. I was in the church that day.

I saw some boys who lived around the church join the crowd. They were holding sticks and chanting in Arabic. Our priest told us to jump over the fence behind the church to escape while he stayed back and kept shooting in the air. Everyone left the church except him.

That experience made me lose trust in the average Muslim. Some of the same people I joked with, played with, and talked to every day, who lived close to the church, pointed at the church and joined in burning it. I am not saying all Muslims are like this, but I do not want to find out the hard way who is and who is not. That is why I am careful around my Muslim friends. You never know who will betray you the next minute.

I have also noticed that many Muslims become aggressive when you say anything they feel is against Islam. I have argued with Muslim friends before about things in the Bible and the Quran. When they say things I do not agree with, like saying Jesus is not the Son of God, I do not get angry. But when I share my own opinion about their prophet based on my beliefs, they become furious. They want to fight me, even though they just said their own opinion about Jesus and I stayed calm.

These are people I call my best friends, because I would not have such discussions with someone I am not close to. All of these experiences have made me very careful around Muslims. They get angry easily, and many have violent tendencies when it comes to religion. Not all of them, but a lot of them
It's surprising that inspite of all these experiences of yours, you still talk naively.

Is it until those quiet ones whisper to the violent ones for your head on a spike that you'd grow some sence?
Politics › Re: Oba Of Benin Denies Involvement In Pedro Obaseki's Assault (Pix) by CrownedPhoenix: 5:53pm On Dec 31, 2025
You people just talk like oba of Benin was never sent on exile.

We know the stool is revered but they will depose him and nothing will happen. Benin will boil and cool down.

Nobody is above law. Las las everybody, including the oba, must bend to signed law. Except of course, in the Nigerian way of politics, he is aligned with federal might. Or a later government reinstates him, but by then had been first of all, deposed.
Politics › Re: Implementation Of New Tax law Can Commence On 1st Jan 2026 - Court by CrownedPhoenix:
No, it shouldn't.

A responsible and responsive government shouldn't go ahead with it.

A responsible democratic government cannot go ahead with the illegal discrepancies between the signed law and the gazetted law. A responsible government will not only go after looters of government coffers but be seen to prosecute them to gain trust of the citizens.

A responsive government would consider the plight of the people whom they govern in a bid to reduce their economic hardship, not worsen it.
